G43 is NOT obsolete
Better velocity and expansion and also better accuracy than the P365 and Hellcat for the same weight. 6 shots is plenty for a deep cover defensive pistol, especially one that will most likely just be a backup.

9mm in general is retarded. You either have a fullsize pistol loaded with more ammo than you'll ever need, or a tiny pea shooter that underperforms. The proliferation of 9mm is entirely due to NATO and compfags.

Anyone who shoots a 9x19 subcompact well will shoot a .380 Auto subcompact even better, and it will have less blast or concussion, and a slide that is easier and lighter to rack.

These are all objective benefits. They cannot be denied or ignored.

9mm Parabellum (latin for "for war") makes sense in war, where it was originally designed. Where you're open carrying a full size handgun, which is probably steel.

But that isn't how most people carry, nor is it the type of gun most people carry, nor is it the type of gun that the thread was even originally about.

You're correct. In fact, there are .32 Auto conversion barrels for the Beretta 80X Cheetah which make a lot of sense. Other than this, .32 Auto is more of a pocket pistol chambering, which again falls outside of this discussion. The same is with .25 Auto, and in fact I don't even know of any modern pistols in current production chambered for that cartridge.

It's true 9mm is weaker than .40, 10mm, and .45 super, but for defensive uses it's irrelevant. People who actually engage in combat could choose a better caliber, but pistols matter so little when police have carbines now that more ammo wins.

When was the last time (You) or anyone who's not a cop or gangbanger got into an actual gunfight and expended more than 10 rounds? I'm talking about a lawful self-defense shooting that wasn't just magdumping until empty into a corpse. More ammo is always a good thing, but the magazine capacity meme is hair-splitting when it comes down to something like 13 rounds vs 17.
>>64244606
9mm could not even pass the FBI's gel test until 2015 using specialized projectiles from G19-sized handguns. Most fags these days are carrying regular hollow points (the kind that get clogged by clothing) in guns with 3" barrels. Not saying 9mm is useless, but most people severely overestimate it.

we dont need smaller guns. kydex holsters increase the hard bulk of the gun by 50% and have a bunch of pointless pinch points. we need to go back to leather holsters, but glockfags won't let us.

Are irrelevant in a discussion of subcompact concealed carry pistols.
In fact, if you wanted to make the argument that they're irrelevant, you'd have to discuss the fact that hollow point bullets have been normalized in 9x19, as FMJ is almost guaranteed to continue through the target due to its extra energy and cause damage to innocent bystanders, which is not the case with .380 Auto.

I know that English isn't your first language but you specifically said that 9mm is "almost guaranteed to continue through the target" when "the target" in this case is an attacker in a DGU. You are now arguing about over penetration from missed rounds. Also, hollow points are at the very least just as equally considered for their terminal effectiveness.

9x19 was selected for service over and over again by militaries and law enforcement agencies all over the world for 80 years before anyone even heard of hollowpoints.

Because NATO standardized it after the krauts left stockpiles of it all over Belgium and France. There wasn't actually any additional thought put into it. Prior to Miami-Dade and the formation of the FBI ballistics laboratory, militaries and police departments tested bullets by shooting hog carcasses.
>Even in FMJRN form it is completely adequate with good shot placement.
Go ahead and trust your life to something that's "adequate" then lol
>Many older hollowpoint designs like the XTP easily meet FBI specs so your statement is wrong.
The test involves shooting through barriers such as thick fabric, automobile bodies, windshield glass, etc. and consistently penetrating to 12-18" in organic ballistics gel. 9mm couldn't consistently pass this test until modern ammo like Gold Dot G2 and Critical Duty were developed. The fact that older hollowpoints can penetrate 12" into bare gel like your favorite guntubers do doesn't count for anything unless you anticipate getting into a gunfight with a naked man.

>.380 Auto is, all things considered, a superior choice to 9x19 in subcompact pistols for the American market. That is a fact.
That is an opinion, but I suppose a dumbass wouldn't know the difference between the two. The shorter the barrel, the more .380 struggles with both penetration and expansion; at less than 3", it gets so bad that users will just carry FMJ to get enough penetration. Honestly, I think they should make fewer subcompacts and pocket pistols in .380 and more compacts like the S&W Shield EZ and the Beretta Cheetah. If those two guns had a threaded barrel, then they'd be the perfect suppressed home defense handguns to keep in a nightstand.

This category of handgun is dumb. There's like two decent loads for them on the market, 124gr +p HST/GD. 147s, standard pressure, and practically all 115s either don't expand reliable or don't penetrate enough. If you're going to carry something that small with FMJ tier performance just carry a .380. Don't trust anything under a 3.7" barrel in lol9mm.

Tons of people, like the legendary Dr. Gary Roberts (known for being a Navy Reserve officer, having served on the Joint Service Wound Ballistic IPT, being a consultant to the Joint FBI-USMC munitions testing program and the TSWG MURG program, and also known for being an oral trauma surgeon at Stanford, so he fixes people who get shot in the face). His work was everywhere in the early 2000s.

>"Handguns chambered in .380 ACP are small, compact, and generally easy to carry. Unfortunately, testing has shown that they offer inadequate performance for self-defense and for law enforcement use whether on duty as a back-up weapon or for off duty carry. The terminal performance of .380 ACP JHP's is often erratic, with inadequate penetration and inconsistent expansion being common problems, while .380 ACP FMJ's offer adequate penetration, but no expansion. All of the .380 ACP JHP loads we have tested, including CorBon, Hornady, Federal, Remington, Speer, and Winchester exhibited inconsistent, unacceptable terminal performance for law enforcement back-up and off duty self-defense use due to inadequate penetration or inadequate expansion. Stick with FMJ for .380 ACP or better yet, don't use it at all. The use of .380 ACP and smaller caliber weapons is really not recommended for LE use and many savvy agencies prohibit them."

The LAPD also insists that officers using .380 stick to FMJ.

>Note that the LAPD currently requires the use of the CCI 95 grain Full Metal Jacket load in their .380 ACP backup guns. They have concluded that this load feeds in all their authorized pistols and it will not β€œunder penetrate.”
>These loads did very well when fired from longer barrels but sometimes failed to expand when fired from short barrels.

The tests performed in those studies are still valid as the ammo used in those tests is the same ammo used now. Cry to someone else about how your gay opinion was wrong.

In all the countless debates I've seen here in .380 v. 9mm for carry not once have I seen either "the slide racks easier" or "the blast and concussion is better", much less together in one post. I can only assume you're using a fucking AI to make your points.

Critical Duty is not engineered to perform out of 3" barrels. Critical Defense is their line meant for short barrels, but it fails on barrier penetration. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

I swear the conversations around 9mm carry get so fucking retarded that I don't know how you people function.
>Muh stopping power
It's a conceal carry not a fucking battle sidearm retard. The goal of conceal carry is defense not murder (I agree that dead men tell no tales though). Carrying more stopping power I guess is fine if you're willing to sacrifice capacity but good grief, what situation is a single stack 45 or else gonna bail you out of a situation that a double stack 9mm won't?
>Ok but uhhh what if I'm fighting a chemmed up junkie with super strength
The average person is going right on their ass even if they get shot with a 22 in the center of mass
>Muh round capacity
Gets so dumb too. Both are fringe vases with stopping power vs capacity but you're infinitely better off with more shots than you are higher stopping power unless you trust yourself to land your fucking shots in the heat of the moment and yeah I promise you the average CCW hero fantasizer would shit their pants when being shot at. So youre way better off being prepared. But even more to the point, 9mm gets you a lot of capacity with a round that will put down most threats with little tradeoff. If you wanna murder just carry a fucking 44 revolver or something

>T. Carries the worst of all worlds a P365
Because ammo is cheap, it's small and works well with my small ass male body, and if I can't solve any problems with what this is, then I highly doubt any other gun in the wild is gonna save my ass anyways. Buy a fucking shotgun for home defense

>G43 Better everything and weighs same as P365 and Hellcat
>6 shots

-Tale of the tape:
All 3 weigh ~ 18oz
All 3 are each ~ 1.0" wide
All 3 are each ~ 4/1/4" tall
P365 is 5-3/4" long
Hellcat is 6.0" long
G43 is 6.25" long
In those size configs, mags cap:
P365 holds 10rd
Hellcat holds 11rd
G43 holds 6rd
The tape finds the G43 wanting

-Tale of OP's ass:
>Better velocity and expansion and also better accuracy
Wow. Just wow.
